Xymon-4.3.0-beta1: incorrect value for "count" rrd
by dominique.frise＠unil.ch 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi, We track "surgemail" processes using following rule in hobbit-clients.cfg: HOST=xyz PROC ./surgemail min=0 TRACK=surgemail The ps listing in msg.xyz.txt reports 315 "./surgemail" processes, while the rrd graph only shows ~30 processes. Here the last corresponding dataset of processes.surgemail.rrd file (after flushing the cache by stopping Xymon): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE rrd SYSTEM "http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/rrdtool.dtd"> <rrd> <version> 0003 </version> <step> 300 </step>  <lastupdate> 1239775972 </lastupdate>  <ds> <name> count </name> <type> GAUGE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min> <max> NaN </max>  <last_ds> 30 </last_ds> <value> 5.1600000000e+03 </value> <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec> </ds>  <rra> We tried to let Xymon recreate a fresh rrd without success. The same configuration was working with Hobbit-4.2.0/RRDtool 1.2.19 (same version) The rrd-code has pretty changed since 4.2.0 and I don't really see what code is involved to try debugging this. Any help appreciated! Dominique

Hi ! I've got besides warning-mail by xymon .. bbtest warning (YELLOW) Error output: Timeout waiting for data from child, killing it Timeout waiting for data from child, killing it Child process terminated with signal 15 Unfortunately i didn't found the host who makes this error ... Can somebody give me an hint how i detect this error-host ? .. in hobbitlaunch.cfg, i've added to the bbnet-test CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --dnslog=/usr/lib/hobbit/serverlogs/dns.log --debug nothing appears in dns.log and in bb-network.log appears to much .. :-( So, which things are important to detect the error-host apart error and/or failed in the logfile ? Is there another possiblity to debug this problem ?

depends statement returning wrong result
by SKreien＠la-z-boy.com 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi everyone, I had an issue with a depends statement last night. Here's the line in question from my bb-hosts: 0.0.0.0 mdav6022.mdmza.dmz.hq # http://mdav6022.mdmza.dmz.hq/lazboy/Main/login.do CLIENT:MDAV6022 COMMENT:"web4" depends=(http:retv6002.na.hq/http) DOWNTIME=*:0125:0415 If I pull up the history for mdav6022 it shows the http test constantly going up and down for about 6 hours last night. Most of the time the test went white due to the http test failing on retv6002, which is what it's supposed to do. The problem is that when I went to look at retv6002, the http test there shows green the entire night except for about 2 minutes of planned downtime. I also haven't gotten any calls this morning about mdav6022 being down, so I don't think it was actually down. Maybe we had a network issue with communication to mdav6022 or something; I don't know, I'll worry about that later. What worries me with the depends statement though is why did the http test go white and claim that the http test it depends on also failed, when in reality it didn't?

alert storm / intelligent extra mailscript
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi ! I've got an problem with my colleagues and the alert-storm if a hole batchfarm will be rebooted for kernel-upgrade etc. .. and the person, who did it, doesn't deactivate them or make an Acknowledge-Downtime, don't ask me why ... he hate web-guis, want to make only one command on the console ... I know, i asked something similiar before http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/01/msg00398.html Re: [hobbit] remote/commandline Acknowledge Alerts and Henrik answered quite right like anytime :-) but this works only, if i know the id of the event, in our situation i needed it before the event(s) started .. :-( they don't want to got 5 or more mails for only one machine ( by ca. 50 or more machines) ... So, we've played somthing around with Duration,Recovered .. Now i've got two mails for Conn ( RED & Recovered) and one for cpu ( Yellow for reboot) ... we can reduce them to only two mails of course ( deactivate the Recovered for Conn or make an higher Duration for the cpu-reboot-mail) ... My Question is, if there still exist an intelligent extra mailscript or something else which look at the conn-condition and if it's bad, it doesn't send any alarm for all other services only for conn .... Thanks & cheers Martin

Does anyone use a summary page of graphs for multiple servers to combine all of the graphs of all of their servers to have a quick at-a-glance for everything? I am interested in seeing any examples or ideas if they are out there.
